Abdul is a highly experienced and multi-skilled dental surgeon who qualified from the prestigious Guy's, King's and St Thomas's School of Medicine and Dentistry in 2004 and has over 18 years of experience in private practice.
Throughout his career, he has been regularly involved in mentoring and supervising younger and less experienced dentists and continues to do so.After completing vocational training, Abdul went on to work at the highly esteemed Charles Clifford dental hospital in Sheffield as a senior officer in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Abdul gained invaluable experience in the management of patients with complex medical conditions, such as head and neck cancer, corrective jaw surgery, removal of impacted teeth, and trauma.Soon afterwards, Abdul completed a postgraduate certificate in dental implantology at the University of Salford under the instruction of the world-renowned Professor Cemal Ucer. Since then, Abdul has placed well over a thousand implants throughout his career.
He is highly proficient in the management of dental implants within the aesthetic zone, full mouth rehabilitation using the All on 4 or 6 treatment protocol, enabling "same day teeth". Abdul has extensive experience with digitally planned CT-guided implant surgeries for highly precise implant positioning.
His special interests thus lie in all aspects of dental implantology, removal of impacted teeth, and fixed and removable orthodontics (teeth alignment procedures). Abdul also has a particular interest in the management of patients with dental phobias and anxiety. By using a combination of relaxation techniques, distraction, relative analgesia, and intravenous sedation, he can treat even the most challenging patients. With his calm and relaxing approach, he is able to change patients' perceptions and attitudes towards coming to the dentist.
Abdul is extremely proficient in orthodontic treatments (both fixed braces and clear aligner treatment, such as Invisalign). He has a special interest in the use of temporary anchorage devices (also known as 'TADS') to help reduce treatment times and enhance clinical outcomes.
Abdul believes every patient deserves to have a healthy, functional, and happy set of teeth. Dental wellbeing is strongly linked with general wellbeing, as such he strives to achieve this for every one of his patients.Outside of work, Abdul likes to spend time with his wife and 4 lovely daughters. He enjoys travelling, reading poetry, exploring different cuisines, and playing football.

Colin had difficulty eating and chewing as well as regular pain from his badly damaged and broken teeth for many years. He had suffered years of pain, sensitivity, difficulty eating and chewing and not to mention the lack of confidence when smiling. He finally mustered up the courage to take action and went ahead with the "teeth in a day" treatment.
Treatment was a success and for this final bridgework he wanted super white teeth and can now smile and eat with confidence free from any dental pain. In his own words Colins expressed his delight at the outcome: "I can't be happier with my new perfect teeth.
Kim presented with loose teeth that were drifting all over the place due to the prescence of gum disease. This resulted in the gap that you can see in between her front teeth which was not there a few before. This unfortunate condition led to her on the verge of losing all of her upper teeth and the frightful prospect of wearing dentures for the rest of her life. Thankfully we had a solution to help.
Once we were able to stablise the gum disease - we were able to remove all of the affected teeth and replace them with dental implants using the "teeth in a day" protocol for which she was suitable for. We only needed to do this for her upper teeth as her lower teeth were in much better shape. The end result allowed her to have fixed teeth once again that were no longer loose and moving all over the place. This has restored her confidence once again!
Abdel Hakim presented to us with failing teeth and a smile that he was very embarrassed about. He knew he will lose all of his teeth and wanted a solution that would restore the quality of his life without resorting to removable dentures.

What you see here is a life changing transformation of his smile that has enhanced his confidence to no end. Please see Abdel Hakims video testimonial below to give you an idea of how much this treatment means to him.
Lucky presented with teeth that had drifted so far out that it was a cause for embarrassment for her. She wanted a solution that would allow her to have fixed teeth right from the outset without the need to wear dentures which she was absolutely dead against. We carefully planned her case and helped her find a solution that worked for her and provided her with what she really wanted.
The treatment involved stabilising her gum disease and removing the failed teeth after which we could restore her mouth with dental implants using the "teeth in a day" protocol. What you see here is a life changing transformation that has significantly enhanced her facial profile and restored her youthful look
